Central vision loss, photopsia, floaters and macular edema in a highly myopic patient can easily be misrelated to high myopia complications. However, in atypical cases, detailed examination along with a thorough diagnostic is required to establish the right diagnosis, which is often beyond the limits of the condition originally considered.

Purpose: To report a case of choroidal neovascularisation and leakage in a myopic female predicted to be a choroideraemia carrier treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF). Methods: Case report. Results: A female magazine editor presented with sudden decrease in vision in her right eye, with Snellen visual acuities (VAs) of 1/60 and 3/60 in the right and left eyes respectively. She was diagnosed with choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) formation and subretinal haemorrhage in her right eye. This is on a background of previous presentations, the first of which was 20 years ago for declining left eye vision. She was subsequently found to be a predicted choroideraemia carrier. However, she also has high myopia, and it is unclear whether the predicted choroideraemia carrier status or high myopia is the main underlying cause of her CNV, although we believe that the former is more likely. The first episode of CNV in her right eye was treated successfully with intravitreal anti-VEGF. However, she experienced four further CNV reactivations in her right eye, all of which were treated successfully with anti-VEGF. At her last follow-up visit to date, Snellen VAs were 6/9 and 3/60 in her right and left eye respectively. Conclusion: This is a unique case of CNV formation in a predicted choroideraemia carrier who also has co-existent high myopia. Prompt treatment of CNV activity with anti-VEGF has been efficacious in prevention of subretinal fibrosis and irreversible vision loss and allowed the patient to continue working in her chosen career.

Purpose: To retrospectively review the prevalence of myopia and elongated axial length in eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and to evaluate treatment response of PCV in highly myopic eyes. PCV has rarely been reported in myopic eyes. Methods: A retrospective review of all eyes diagnosed with PCV at the clinics of Retina Consultants of Hawaii and the Hawaii Macula and Retina Institute was performed between February of 2007 and April of 2017 to evaluate for eyes with significant myopia and elongated axial length. Results: A total of 282 eyes were diagnosed with PCV by ICG angiography. There were 144 males (59%) and 99 females (41%). 204 patients had unilateral PCV and 39 patients had bilateral PCV. A total of 3 patients with PCV had significant myopia less than -6 diopters or confirmed elongated axial length. One of these patients had bilateral PCV so there were 4 eyes noted with significant myopia and elongated axial length out of 282 eyes with PCV (1.4%). All 3 patients were Asian and presented with active leakage or bleeding related to PCV diagnosed on indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography. Treatments typically used to treat PCV including intravitreal antiangiogenic medications and photodynamic therapy were utilized. Conclusion and Importance: High myopia is rare in eyes diagnosed with PCV, even though choroidal neovascularization is a common cause of vision loss in myopic macular degeneration. However, even in highly myopic eyes, PCV may show signs of resistance to antiangiogenic medications.
